CAMP XKAK CAPITAL CITY.
Columbia Selected for One of New !
Army's Cantonments.
Washington. May i y.?Columbia,
displaying the pluck that has ever
characterized her efforts, has again
scored a victory. Today the State's
correspondent is able for the first
time to say positively that before the
end of the next sixty days Columbia
will have grown to the neighborhood
of 60.000 or 70,000 souls. 22,000 being
added by the men who are to go
into the big army camp soon to be
located there.
While yesterday it seemed certain l
I
that Columbia had won her long fight
and would be named as one of the
cities for the big camps to be located.
O woe nofocicavv hapaiKP en nianv
previous statements have been erroneous,
to get further information
before making the matter public. .
Today at the war department Maj.
Dougles McArthur, backed by other
officials, said: "Yes, Columbia has
been selected for the site of one of
the camps, but details concerning
how many men are to go there, just
when they will be sent and how long
they will remain there must come
from Gen. Wood at Charleston."
What the addition of 22,000 men
to the population of Columbia means
to the commercial life of that city
cannot be expressed on paper, except
to say that every form of business in
Columbia and surrounding territory
will feel the effects.
martial and suffer such punishment
as a courtmartial may direct.
"Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson,
president of the United States,
do call upon the governor of each of
the several States and territories,
the board of commissioners of the
District of Columbia and all officers
and agents of the several States and
territories, of the District of Columbia
and of the counties and municipalities
thereof to perform certain
duties in the execution of the foregoing
law, which duties will be communicated
to those directly in regulations
of even date herewith.
"A.nd "I do further proclaim and
give notice to all persons subject
to registration in the several States
and in the District of Columbia in
accordance with the above law that
the time and place of such registration
shall be between 7 a. m. and 9
p. m. on the 5th day of June, 1917,
at the registration place in the precinct
wherein they have their permanent
homes. Those who shall have
t V |
attained their 21st birthday and who
shall not have attained their 31st
birthday on or before the day here
named are required to register, excepting
only officers and enlisted men
of the regular army, the navy, the
marine corps and the national guard
and naval militia while in the service
of the United States and officers
in the officers' reserve corps and enlisted
men in the enlisted reserve
corps while in active service. In
the teritories of Alaska. Hawaii and
Porto Rico a day for registration will
be named in a later proclamation
riatA
"And I do charge those who
through sickness shall be unable to
present themselves for registration I
that they apply on or before the dayj
of registration to the county clerk of
the county where they may be for instructions
as they may be registered
by agent. Those who expect to be
absent on the day named from the
counties in which they have their
permanent phonies may register by
mail, but their mailed registration
cards must reach the places in which!
they have their permanent home by
the day named herein. They should
apply as soon as practicable to the!
county clerk of the county wherein
they may be for instructions as to
how they may accomplish their registration
by mail. In case such per-1
sons as through sickness or absence
may be unable to present themselves
personally for registration shall be
sojourning in cities of over 30.000
population, they shall apply to the
city clerk of the city wherein they
may be sojourning rather than to
the clerk of the county. The clerks
of counties and of cities of over 30.000
population in which numerous
applications from the sick and from
non-residents are expected, are authorized
to establish such sub-|
agencies and to employ and deputize
such clerical force as may be necessary
to accommodate these applica- i
tions.
"The power against which we are
arrayed has sought to impose its will
upon the world by force. To this end
it has increased armament until it;
has changed the face of war. In the
sense in which we have been wont to
think of armies there are no armies
ill this struggle. There are entire
nations armed. Thus the men who
remain to till the soil and man the
factories are no less a part of the
army that is in France than the men
beneath the battleflags. It must be
so with us. It ?s not an army that
we must shape and train for war. It
is a nation. To this end our people
must draw close in one compact
front against a common foe."

Telephone Troubles
9 i
BELL Telephone employees are constantly
trying to prevent trouble of any
kind in the workings of the equipment,
and to repair such troubles as soon
as possible after they occur.
Subscribers are asked to report trouble
immediately, and to exercise a reasonable
oatience while it is being cleared.
* ?
If you do not see a man actually
working on your telephone, it does not
mean that you are not receiving proper
attention.
The difficulty may be at the switchboard,
in the cable or at any one of several
other places. Two or three men may
be at work hunting it down.
It is always our first consideration to
clear troubles promptly.
